2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

For your safety, the driver should not watch the TV or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating the TV while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.

1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, moisture may form on the disc (CD/ MD) or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (CD/MD), wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

4. TV broadcast reception When receiving the TV broadcasts, the

strength of the signals changes since the car is moving, so in some cases it may not be possible to receive clear pictures.

• TV signals are strongly linear, so reception

is affected by buildings, mountains and other obstacles.

• Such external factors such as electric train

lines, a high voltage lines, and signal devices may disturb the picture or cause noise.

∗ If the reception is poor, switch to a station with

good reception.

Caution on Handling

On CDs

• Exercise a good precaution when loading a CD

disc with the panel open.

• Never turn off the power and remove the unit

from the car with a CD loaded.

English

Handling Compact Discs

Use only compact discs bearing the mark.

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.

Owner’s manual

Some CDs recorded in CD-R mode may not be usable. Even when recorded in CD-RW mode, some CDs not be usable.

Handling

• New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work or the sound may skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.

Ball-point pen

Roughness

• Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD player.

• Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

• To remove a compact disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.

• Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.

• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

English

LCD panel/Generalities

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.

• Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the

main unit when parking the car outdoors for long period of time. The LCD panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to 60˚C.

• Don’t allow any liquids on the set from drinks,

umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal circuitry.

• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any

way. Doing so may result in damage.

• Do not draw the LCD panel out and use it as a

tray. Also, subjecting the LCD panel to shocks may result in breakage, deformation or other damage.

• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so

may damage or deform the cabinet.

• If a problem should occur, have the set in-

spected at your store of purchase.

• Do not insert objects or poke in the space be-

tween the LCD panel and the main unit when the panel is tilted.

• Do not place anything on the display when the panel is tilted.

• The remote controller may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.

• In extremely cold weather, the display movement may slow down and the display may darken, but this is not a malfunction. The display will work normally when the temperature increases.

• Small black and shiny spots inside the LCD panel are normal for LCD products.

• The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it opens or closes, when the engine stops or when it is cold.

• The touchkeys on the display operate when slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey screen with much force.

• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey panel with much force. This may cause malfunctioning of the touchkeys.

Cleaning

Owner’s manual

• Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc., as these substances may damage the cabinet or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber or plastic products in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.

• Cleaning the LCD panel

The LCD panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.
